Wen Ying vaguely remembered that before He Zhen called, Xie Qian said he had something to tell her.
What's the matter?
Wen Ying was thinking about what Xie Qian didn't have time to say, and then about the call from He Zhen.
If Xie Qian said that, He Zhen would definitely go to Dai Chenglan to verify it, and the mother and son would most likely have a conflict, and then... Wen Ying couldn't think of "then".
It is already rare that He Zhen does not go along with his biological mother Dai Chenglan. It seems a bit unrealistic to ask He Zhen to take a clear stand against Dai Chenglan.
Anyway, He Zhen always respected Dai Chenglan in his previous life!
Wen Ying was wrong again.
She always uses the "Little Mr. He" from her previous life to represent the present He Zhen, which of course is not accurate.
He Zhen is about to go to the UK to complete his last year of undergraduate studies. Before leaving, he called Xie Qian. After receiving Xie Qian's reply, He Zhen felt a struggle between his conscience and his desires.
Rebecca sighed softly on the phone: "I reminded you that this is Pandora's box. You opened the box and released the devil. Now how are you going to face it?"
"I won't run away."
He Zhen heard the worry in Rebecca's tone, "If I fall out with my family, I will return to England as soon as possible."
Of course Rebecca welcomed He Zhen to return to the UK. In fact, He Zhen started his business during his undergraduate studies. Rebecca even felt that He Zhen was a little too anxious.
Having family support is icing on the cake. If he didn't have family support, He Zhen should focus more on his studies.
Without the support of his family, it is easier to see whether He Zhen has the ability to do business, provided that He Zhen can ensure his own life.
Rebecca used a joke to ease the atmosphere: "If you need it, I can support you financially, but you have to provide me with a detailed repayment plan!"
He Zhen laughed: "So you are my escape route?"
Rebecca denied the idea of a retreat, insisting that she was a descendant of a banker, naturally gifted with the shrewdness of a banker and adept at increasing her wealth:
“Trust me, the interest will give you a headache!”
He Zhen was not afraid at all, and was very moved.
In the social context in which Rebecca grew up, even couples might not necessarily share wealth, let alone boyfriends and girlfriends.
She was willing to lend money to He Zhen to tide over the difficulties instead of asking He Zhen to go to the bank for a loan to go to school. She really loved He Zhen very much.
He Zhen felt very warm in his heart having such a girlfriend. The two of them exchanged some private love words. After He Zhen packed his suitcase, He Zhinian and Dai Chenglan returned home together.
The couple had just finished entertaining friends.
Coincidentally, the father of He Zhen’s childhood friend is at the dinner party tonight.
"He Zhen, it's right for you not to go. You won't be happy to see him if you go."
He Zhinian felt that this friend was becoming less and less stylish.
All the bosses brought their original wives to the dinner tonight, but this friend brought his female secretary, which made his friends very embarrassed. The original wives didn't know how to talk to the female secretary.
He Zhinian was embarrassed to say it at the dinner party, so he went home and revealed his true feelings in front of his wife and children, criticizing his friend harshly.
Dai Chenglan felt her husband was too nagging: "Alright, we don't have much business dealings with him anymore. If we don't see each other more than twice a year, just bear with it! Look, aren't others enduring it too? It's better to have more friends than more enemies. There's no need to tear each other apart over something like this."
In the past, He Zhen would have joined his father He Zhinian in criticizing that "uncle". But tonight He Zhen was unusually silent. He Zhinian was surprised and couldn't help but look at his son twice.
"He Zhen, are you worried about 'Si Lan'?"
He Zhinian gently advised, "Dad knows you've put a lot of effort into Silan, so it's normal that you can't let go for a while. However, your studies in the UK haven't been completed yet, and Dad believes you can distinguish between the priorities."
He Zhinian hopes He Zhen won't be anxious.
He Zhen is the only son in the He family, and the family business will be taken over by He Zhen sooner or later. "Si Lan" does have great prospects, but he can't give up his studies just because he is busy with company matters!
This is He Zhinian.
Compared to the "uncle" who cheated on his female secretary, He Zhinian is really too good. He is too busy protecting the interests of his wife and children, and will never make his wife and children feel uncomfortable because of a wild woman outside.
The prerequisite for He Zhinian to prevent his wife and children from being sympathized with or bullied by others is that he must first keep himself clean!
Dai Chenglan prepared to check He Zhen's luggage and took out a box from the house. Inside was a jewel necklace:
"You take it to England and give it to Rebecca."
Ever since she knew that Rebecca could find technical support for "Silan" abroad, Dai Chenglan seemed to have forgotten her previous advice to He Zhen to carefully consider dating Rebecca. With a changed mindset, Dai Chenglan handled the identity of "future mother-in-law" very well and would prepare gifts for Rebecca from time to time.
Rebecca didn't notice Dai Chenglan's inconsistent attitude. She simply thought that He Zhen's mother was very enthusiastic and understood it as a cultural difference between the two countries. While happily accepting the gifts, she did not forget to mail a return gift to Dai Chenglan from the UK!
The biggest obstacle preventing He Zhen and Rebecca from getting married seems to have disappeared.
As long as He Zhen continues to turn a blind eye and does not pursue the behind-the-scenes dealings between the He family and Kumho Group, He Zhen will have a family and relationship that others will envy.
Feeling the care from his father He Zhinian and looking at the gift box handed over by his mother Dai Chenglan, He Zhen really hesitated for a moment, unable to bear to burst this beautiful illusion.
Is it worth questioning your parents about other people’s family affairs?
Maybe it's not worth it... If I don't ask, this thorn will always be stuck in He Zhen's throat, making him uncomfortable all the time.
The transformation from a boy to a man lies in the courage to take responsibility and the courage to explore the truth.
